so no ideas?
-
Can you record a small video that illustrates your actions that leads to the issue?
-
nope no way of doing that.
What happens.
Aimp running, one playlist containing 4 items.
PC shuts down. Starts up. Aimp is loaded with NO playlist. I reload playlist and repeat.
-
So, may be AIMP was killed before it saves the content?
I reload playlist and repeat.
What you mean under "reload" here? Do you import the playlist from the file?
-
At the moment l just double click on a single pls file to get it playing
I must admit to getting annoyed with it not loading and am trying out tiny player
-
Please, try on this build:

Does issue happens if you close the app before the shutdown PC?
-
yes, though about that before.
As I said the old versions worked for over a year, but since 4.3 or just before it stopped loading the pls

So, ensure that profile folder (and playlists subfolder) are not in "read only" state. It seems like app cannot store the data.
since 4.3 or just before it stopped loading the pls
Since v4.30? We have no v4.3 for PC...
Anyway, please do following steps:
1) start the app with /DEBUG key (you can add the argument in shortcut properties)
2) reproduce the issue
3) open the app settings and click "profile folder" link
4) next copy the AIMP.log file and send it to me.

I was just going by the title on screen here for 4.3
Have added the /DEBUG will report tomorrow
-
log file attached

It seems strange, but there are no recording errors on the program's part. Are any other settings being resets besides playlists?
-
I only changed auto load I will remove it completely including the profile folder and see if I can get it to work.
-
OK so completely removed including profile folder yesterday and reinstalled and added one pls
Result today SAME no playlst

for example: preferences - playlist - close palylist by double-click on tab - ON
close AIMP
open AIMP
what status "close palylist by double-click on tab" ?

The only things I changed was Autorun to on & show mini player to off
attached ini file

Please, answer to my question
-
OK changed close playlist by double-click on tab to ON
closed Aimp
loaded Aimp and it is still on, but the playlist is THERE
Why ??????
This is NOT something I changed before

I don't have access to any video equipment as I said earlier.

Anyway the playlist checkbox has fixed it. It now remembers the playlist. BUT I DID NOT CHANGE THIS.

What exactly checkbox solves the issue in your case?
-
The double click play list one
Seems like an inverse but it now loads the playlist on restart/load

%) its sounds so strange. this option lead to double click on playlist's tab. that's all. May be, you've unchecked "save temporary playlist with name Default"?
-
it is checked, never changed it.
